Don't Flush the Toilet!

Steven West
Jack flushed the toilet.
The toilet didn't flush.
The water kept on rising.
"Don't touch! Please don't touch!"
Jack flushed the toilet again.
The toilet didn't flush.
The water reached the top of the rim.
"Don't touch! Please don't touch!"
Jack flushed the toilet once more.
The toilet didn't flush.
The water went upon the floor.
The flushing was too much.
Jack ran out of the bathroom.
He hollered for mom and said,
"The toilet didn't flush.
Now I think I'll go to bed.
Don't worry about the water.
The mess isn't too bad yet.
Unfortunately for my socks,
They are now completely wet."
Mom went upstairs.
She saw the messy floor.
The water had crept pass the bathroom,
And was heading for the door.
"Dear son," said his mother.
"Do not flush the toilet again.
I'll fix the problem tomorrow.
Go to sleep and count to ten."
Mother then got a mop.
She cleaned the awful mess.
Once again she had passed
The trials of the parenting test.
